    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Crestieman - Robert Shays Reptiles

No i just did it the school couldnt do anything! I'm not a scammer ok people calm down yeah im immature and went way to far but you have to understand that all of you did too by posting all my personal info. sorry this had to happen glad it is resolved now thats all go back to our breeding projects because i know its the middle of it right now. sorry

Whatever dude. You're the one to put all your info out there for the public to see. There are things called privacy settings.

I'm glad you kind of tried to resolve things (by sending money.) However, I think that you've made no friends here and lost many potential customers. Add me to the list of people who will never buy from you. I'd rather give my business to honest, sincere, and hard working individuals. I suggest you begin correspondence with actual reputable business persons to become educated on good customer service. Maybe you'll be able to rebuild things with a sincere apology sometime. maybe.
 
Oh- one more thing- IDK what it is that people think that ANYTHING that gets posted on places like Facebook, Myspace, and forums is in ANY way private- if you truly want a conversation to stay private, don't put it on the WWW!!! Gen Y is especially naieve about this craziness, for whatever reason...
 
Thanks people i get the point! i just dont get why you refer me as a business when i have 15 geckos at most. Im not even close to a business. But im done im out.

Are you breeding geckos? are you planning on selling eggs? do you have a website with product (geckos) listed?

Hate to tell you... but that is a business. small one! but still a business.
 
Robert, do you breed geckos and sell them? Then you are a 'business', just small scale. If you plan on selling geckos, you have to have a good customer base, and you earn those customers by doing right by them.

You sent the refund, but now you have to earn back those customers, and your comments here are not going to help you. You've got potential, if you choose to work for that, than great! Currently you are letting your emotions get the best of you.

:iagree:
 
I heard somewhere that the true measure of a person's integrity is measured by the choices they make even when they don't think anyone is watching.

So your decision to try and blow this off because it's "not a real business" was a really, really bad one.
 
BNL replied to my email and stated that he had nothing to do with this, as I thought. He was also kind enough to call Robert to help get this fixed. Just to let everyone know.
 
i just dont get why you refer me as a business

On your first post in this thread, (that would be post #5) you refer to yourself as RSREPTILES. Unless your Dad's last name just happens to be Reptiles, that's a business name.

Plus of course, you were doing business, and selling reptiles.
 
Robert, another piece of advice...when sending a refund don't send it as a payment, send it as a gift or refund. I got charged the fee, at least it was just a dollar and change...
 
i did say something about the free gecko my bad i messed up about that but you didnt post the message about how you said you did not want it and that you didnt have space for it? im sure you knew if you woulda posted the whole convo about that they would see how YOU said YOU didnt want it im sorry for the misunderstanding about that last post about the free gecko part everything else TRUE!!

One thing is NEVER EVER send paypal payments as personal payments unless you know the person. As these payments are final. No claim can be filed on them if the buyer backs out on you and takes the money. This is why Fees are not taken out as paypal figures you know the party.

i can just as quickly provide screen shots about you saying that you did not have room and in our convo i had stated it was a probable female you are making this into something that it isnt what are you trying to do with this it is over and done with leave me alone and stop trying to get ahold of me via facebook i blocked you!

and on your facebook you said hand soap wasnt doing good eating so you needs to get your facts straight miss and it was the WEATHER! seeing as i couldnt ship at 40* a night i had stated that previously jesus you are messed up leave me alone for real stop talking to me

i did not delete my facebook i simply blocked you due to you sending me a message about a min i am done talking to you keep going ahead and killing your animals you inexperience lizard owner idc how much you room you had or have set up for them you told me you didnt want another one.... im telling you this once last time stop talking to me you are getting nothing out out me and im doing just fine not selling to you anymore or talking to you! honestly leave me alone stop talking or anything delete me and if you have a problem with the crested sell it its worth more now as a male and it was a steal when you bought it any how so stop talking to me and im never doing buisness with you again thank you have a wonderful rest of your inexperienced life :)

i have not once lost one of my reptiles due to things like you have i have been selling for quite some time and i have had reptiles for a long time so please im asking kindly this time stop freaking talking to me you crazed looney!!! :) YOU ARE NOT A GOOD REPTILE OWNER

i am tired of this lady harassing me give her an infraction for her harassment!!!!!!! honestly she messaged me on facebook so much i had to block her that is why she thinks i deleted mine for real stop katie im done with you!!

i really do not need any three of you to purchase from myself nor would i sell to you!! i have gotten a legit message and comment from a herpetologist that i connected about this and provided him with the pictures of the crestie i sent to her and he said that even before i sent it, it looked female thats a herpetologist that said it too i have been in contact with him recently and he said due to the coloration and what not of this creature she got a steal so for real i dont care what she has to say or "show" about me i am selling fine without her or her harrassing me

guess what you will not revieve a dime from me you have been harrassing me through chat and messages on here honestly just let it go you are going to go one and not buy from me again whoo who idc honestly and dont say you didnt send me a chat thing cause you did o stop lying this is ridiculous i told you in the chat that i had thought possible female and you got it and the pores and bulge just happened to show up there is no proof that that is the one i sold seeing as that is just the underside of the crestie thank you for harrassing me im done with you..... IM DONE WITH YOU

nah lucille your pathetic you might have just changed my mind


Wow man. Takes a real special kind of stupid to come up with all that gibberish. It hurts my eye's trying to read it all. BTW mr. professional, it's "you're" when you're trying to say "you are".

No i just did it the school couldnt do anything!

That's the price you pay for being stupid. Honest people let other honest people know about who not to deal with. What ever info gets dug up. Don't like it, learn to deal with your customers a little better.


Thanks people i get the point! i just dont get why you refer me as a business when i have 15 geckos at most. Im not even close to a business. But im done im out.


I could have sworn you called yourself a business. Didn't I see screen shots of a Roberts Reptiles? And a RR something or other? A hobbyist wouldn't have to have a name. They'd just post an ad.

Katie, I think he knew that you'd get a fee, and I think he knew you couldn't dispute a gift too, which is exactly why he tried to get you to send it that way in the beginning. Worms can only keep the slime from oozing out for a little while.
 
i am glad that this came to a some what acceptable conclusion. while the actions went through it is the attitude that could use a little thought.

at this point a little reflection might help change things for the future. any time something is sold it is considered a business from home lemonade stand to here. some places require you to get a permit to have a garage sale. the why does not matter, only the fact that money exchanges hand.

if you want to consider continual selling, on here or in general, you are going to have to change your nonchalant attitude about problems with your customers no matter how small. think about it and do a search for your name in yahoo and google and see what pops out. This BOI is here forever. Nothing can change that now.

WOW!!

Someone finally displaced The Wises, Crissabella, Dean Stemple, and Ed Clark on the Bottom 10 List????
 
If I were him I'd feel publicly humiliated for my actions and never want to show my face in the reptile industry ever again. I think he's shot himself in the foot so many times it'll never heal, and that's also not mentioning the immaturity of his actions will show on google for a long, long time. Prospective hirers for whatever field he chooses to go to will likely see this and think twice before adding him to their staff.

And like I said in another BOI thread... why is it that all scammers seem to lack the ability to use proper punctuation and grammar? It looks awful. I just don't get it.

How did this guy even get into ANY college, let alone Kent State??

I mean...even community colleges in NY have higher standards.
